    • ROMN Uplands Vegetation Composition, Structure, and Soils in FLFO, GRKO, and LIBI: 2009-2024 - Raw Data

    Metadata Updated: December 13, 2025

    This data package contains the data collected for the Rocky Mountain Network’s (ROMN) Vegetation Composition Structure and Soils (VCSS) protocol. These data were collected in the field at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument (FLFO), Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site (GRKO), and Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument (LIBI) in Colorado and Montana beginning in 2009 and continuing to the present. Vegetation composition, structure, and soils are important habitat elements in all Rocky Mountain Network parks. Vegetation structure and composition are fundamental determinants of wildlife habitat characteristics and quality, visitor experiences, cultural/historic landscape quality (in the cases of LIBI and GRKO), and basic ecosystem functioning (e.g., via primary production; cycling of carbon, nitrogen, and other nutrients; and micro-climate controls). The files in this package include information regarding the trees, seedlings, other plant species, soil stability, and disturbance at the upland sampling locations in each park.

    These tables were generated from Species_ROMN_MASTER_20250814.accd and VCSS and VCSS_ROMN_AllYears_MASTER_20250828.accdb.
